Editor Log: January 2011

Yeah, I've really gotten behind on these. My life got busy early December which then segued into the holidays and the start of a new semester. E2 remained busy however with another successful Iron Noder and some changes with a new guest user Front Page and categories.

I know what you did this winter...

Some points of discussion among the staff since November.

• Some fact checking on one of our more mathematical nodes
• Normal responses to blanking writeups, asking for second opinions, and general housekeeping
• The mysterious popularity of E2 as the number of logged in users skyrocketed in mid November (blame AJAX)
• Discussing what level of incomprehensibility is permissible and what should be nuked
• Finalizing the look of the Guest User Front Page
• Policy about linking to porn in writeups (ok as long as it's labeled as such)
• The potential for abuse of categories like insulting softlinks and future policies on that abuse (adding users to categories has since been disabled)
• Policy on noding Wikipedia entries
• New editor toys (Notifications when a writeup is blanked! An archive for catbox topic changes!)

Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

• The world's least populated time zone, written for one person who does not seem to want to understand what I wrote in my original write-up. - (+4/-9) when nuked. Short writeup in response to their own writeup. Suggested the information be added to the original as an update.
  
• Jesus was not a reactionary reformer, learn your history bud! - (+2/-7) when nuked. Writeup contained corrections to an earlier writeup written by the author. Encouraged to edit the corrections into the original writeup as an update.
